A rare exception in Iowa. This Amish Church District holds their services in an unused schoolhouse. This video show the last hymn and the end of services. The men and women are seated separate during the service and exit through different doors.
Sunday School, NOT church services (significant distinction). Kalona is one of the few communities to use Sunday School Houses.
Every community is different. Here, the families take turns hosting church services in their homes every 2 weeks.
On alternate Sundays, there is an extended Sunday School service held at these Sunday School Houses. (Not an "unused schoolhouse"; they were built for this express purpose and are still very much in use.)
I used to be Amish, but we did not have service in school buildings, we had it either in the home, or in a barn. I am however wondering why you were snooping outside their service?

Interesting video. I know some of these folks.

I am familiar with this exact Amish Sunday School building! I know it's exact location! The Vision Ag ammonia tank was the "dead" give away for me!

@mrdeleted Last time I checked people do not "leave" being AMISH? And they are curious.. as all those who have viewed this short video.

@bxccapricorn you'd be surprised at how many of them do have quite a bit of money. To say they don't have wealth is totally off base.

Some Amish have church in houses, some have church buildings.
